Cumberland
Worker's Harrison Campaign BallFrom
the Harrison Museum: The Cumberland
campaign ball was rolled on
US 40 to Indianapolis in 1888 for Benjamin Harrison's
campaign.
The ball has slogans on the panels. The picture
was taken upon their arrival in front of his House.

The
family address according to 1917 Cumberland Directory was
34
Virginia Avenue and in 1925 31 Virginia Avenue. I believe
the numbers
moved not the residents. Anyway this is the corner of
Virginia and Boone.
The Family members from left to right are Louisa's Aunt
Sallie (we believe
Valentine), Louisa Sangston Grove, Louisa's granddaughter
Georgia Grove.

The
people in this picture are identified as Circus People
only.
Does anyone recognize the building? My Great Grandfather
George Grove in his early days was a machinist for the
B&O
and made a gear for the circus carousel. He was friends
with
them until his death. They paid him enough to open George
Grove's German Village Restarant/Tavern.

This
is possibly Gettysburg. The photographer missed the
statue's head. Great Grandfather, George Grove is fourth
from left standing. He was born in 1865 and wouldn't have
been in the Civil War so I don't know why this picture is
significant.

Flood-1902
The person in the water is Ralph Grove.
The picture is probably taken from the viewpoint
of George Grove's German Village the
family lived over the Restaurant/Tavern.
I'm told the Post Office replaced that building.

George
Grove's German Villiage - Front Street

I've heard they served the
best homemade sauerkraut and sausage in Cumberland. The
entire staff is posed outside in this picture. One of the
cooks is William H. Grove and another is Mrs. Rattinger.
Unfortunately, they are to small to see their faces
clearly.

Hancock
Baseball Team

This picture ca. 1909 is of
my great uncle Ralph Grove (b. 1892) seated on right, the
others are unknown. The players on the left appear to be
in a Chicago Cubs Uniforms and the one in the sweater has
the letters I C showing. In researching I saw the
managers often wore sweaters and had the team name across
the front of their uniforms. I've sent the picture to the
Cubs website with no response. Maybe someone knows.

My Grandfather, George
Grove, is the third seated child from the right. In the
